Gas prices fall for sixth straight day
Saturday, September 06, 2008
CNN Money -- NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices eased for the sixth straight day, even as Tropical Storm hit the Carolinas, according to a nationwide survey of gas station credit card swipes. The average price of regular unleaded gasoline fell 0.4 cents to $3.670 a gallon from $3.674 a day earlier, motorist group AAA said Saturday. Gas prices were slightly higher in the Carolinas, as Hanna made landfall on the coast causing some minor flooding. Nationwide, Alaska and Hawaii remained the two states with gas prices still tracking above $4 a gallon. The cheapest gas was found in Delaware and New Jersey, where prices averaged $3.451 a gallon.

I hope the oil speculators get hosed the same way the real estate speculators got hit and screwed up the housing market.

Hopefully we will see gas prices continue to fall. There is always a different story for raising prices, or defending why they are not lowering the price along with the falling price of oil. Here locally the price of gas is $3.53 this morning. Back in April when the price of oil was the same as it is today the price of gas was $3.18. We are driving less, demand is down but yet we still see the price of gas continue to stay up.

Don't think we'll see $3 but $3.25 might be possible. Keep the pressure on.

prices have not reduced in my area at most stations. There are a few that have reduced prices, but they are not the usual.

$3.69 in Rural Illinois for 3 weeks. Not coming down at all. When the price of oil was going up we were jumping up by .10 and .20 a day.

weenerdog, that is because you are in Michigan. If you travel outside the state--try to gas up before you go home. It is almost always cheaper in Indiana and Ohio. Right now Ohio has very cheap gas compared to Michigan.

If I look at the graph on this page for the Detroit area, gas has gone up five cents in the past three days.
